Fletching Katana Bow Samurai

In Japanese culture, the lethal efficiency of archery was revered until the advent of firearms—a respect that endures today. Samurai archers' legendary feats are still celebrated in the modern age, making them the perfect motif for a katana that demands similar disciplines: patience, persistence, control, and strength.

This katana features a 28” forged carbon steel blade with a genuine hamon, gracefully curved from kissaki to kashira. The design's contrasting colors blend harmoniously, from the black sageo and buffalo horn kurikata and kojiri to the golden tsuka wrapped over white same (ray skin). The textured dark brown saya is beautifully tied together with copper-toned fittings and silver arrowhead menuki, seppa, and habaki.

The round tsuba showcases detailed arrow fletching spokes, while embossing on the fuchi and kashira attests to the superior craftsmanship of Dragon King artisans. This katana is not just a striking blend of color and form, but also a fully functional weapon—a unique addition to any collection.
